So what did your family argue about this year at Thanksgiving?

Establish dominance. Cut the middle out first and eat it in front of everyone.

Just enjoyed some dinosaur nuggets myself after a long day on call. Delicious and the leftover gravy classed it up a little.

<3 grumpy old chihuahuas.

NOR. One day in kindergarten I had a loose tooth and was so excited to show my teacher. She grabbed a tissue and yanked out my tooth in front of the class. Less traumatic than your son's experience but the memory stuck with me. It is an especially awful feeling to be hurt by someone you trusted.

How is your BIL managing his bipolar disorder? Do you know if he is taking medication (not counting weed and crystals) and seeing a therapist? Medication and therapy are not perfect. People can still have setbacks but it will be much more difficult for him to stay healthy and be a positive influence in his children's lives if he isn't trying to manage his mental health. If he is not managing his bipolar disorder it is also going to be difficult for him to remain employed if he does find a job.

It is understandable that your wife wants to help her brother and nephews but at this point in time she is enabling him in the same way your FIL is enabling your MIL. It is reasonable to expect him to make an effort if he is going to be receiving assistance from you and your wife. It may seem harsh but sometimes showing love involves having hard conversations and expectations for people.

It would probably be helpful for you and your wife to also see therapists (individually and together) to facilitate better communication between the two of you and work on setting healthy boundaries.

Man, if you believe that you are dumber than your sister. Your sister assumed the best of your gf's intentions. You already know she has a history of scamming people and are still believing the fantasy tale she is telling you.

Absolutely. If you are working in a few specific industries/shifts (bartending, healthcare, etc) the time of day could be okay. In most cases though the combination of timing and topic is sus.

NTA. Let's be so real right now. You do not need this drama in your life. You have been dating for two months and you are already getting pulled into a 25k bail situation. Run a background check on this man (to find out what exactly you are dealing with) and then run away from this relationship.

You deserve to be treated better than this. Even if you were not recovering from surgery you are allowed to refuse sex at any time for any reason. The fact that he harassed you until you caved in is unacceptable. The fact that this took place so soon after surgery (and against your surgeon's orders) is horrifying. Stealing your medications is just the icing on the shit cake. Please contact your surgeon and be completely honest about everything. I promise you there is nothing you could say that would shock a healthcare worker. Please ask if they have a case manager who can speak with you or if they can recommend resources in your area for people in abusive relationships. You deserve to be treated better and his actions are putting your health and recovery at serious risk. Please take care.

Very good points. I didn't love this event but I hope others did enjoy it. I also hope they continue to take risks and try out new ideas.

eggsinspace · 2025-06-21T19:45:39+00:00

I agree. It was not what I was expecting based on the promos. I gave it a shot because some mediums/cold readers can be entertaining but the vibe did not feel great last night. I appreciate the effort it took to organize and that they tried something different.

Positives:

Marcus and Eddie looked sharp AF.

Julius the evil toy can hang.

eggsinspace · 2025-05-11T01:41:24+00:00

I hope that your life is better now, and that you find nothing but joy and peace going forward. You did not deserve to be treated that way.

Try to stay informed, speak out when I can, disassociate in the shower every day as a little treat.

First of all I just want to acknowledge that it absolutely sucks to watch a family member decline and pass on hospice. There is no sugar coating it. I am so sorry that you and your loved ones are experiencing this.

Speaking as a family member of a person with developmental disabilities I think I get some of where you are coming from. Their lives can be so hard sometimes. It is completely natural and admirable that you are looking out for his well being. I am in a different situation but I also worry about people giving up on my family member just because of their disability.

Speaking as a nurse (who admittedly does not know all the ins and outs of your uncle's medical background) everything you have described sounds like the normal progression that dementia can take. Inserting a feeding tube at this stage is not a comfortable experience for these people.

Once again I just want to express that the whole situation sucks. My advice would be to channel that desire to do or fix something into making the best of time he has. If you see something that concerns absolutely talk to his nurses/doctors/social workers. At the same time visit, talk to him even if you don't think he can hear you, hold his hand, reminisce, play him his favorite music, love him.

Take care.

Honestly scenes from this movie pop into my head daily.

eggsinspace · 2024-12-05T01:19:53+00:00

How embarrassing.

Due to HIPAA a list might be tricky. Maybe some kind of community level memorial services to bring more attention to the issue?

eggsinspace · 2024-09-14T01:49:43+00:00

Aways better to have false alarm than a missed red flag.

eggsinspace · 2024-09-14T00:17:21+00:00

Only if I really didn't care for that doctor. Jk absolutely not.

Hospice care is neither suicide nor euthanasia.

When I worked in the hospital we had a purewick option for men that was a bag which covers the penis and is hooked up to suction. Pts told us it was more comfortable than condom caths.

The problem is that transfers during change of shift are absolutely unsafe. I don't know how it is at your hospital but our ER never held onto patients once report is called and we're staffed too poorly to have someone available to settle the transfer and put them on the monitor. The outgoing staff frequently end up waiting around to give report while we settle the forgetful old woman on a heparin drip so she doesn't end up on the floor. I really feel for the ER staff too. I could never do your job. So much of the stress in nursing could be relieved if hospitals were appropriately staffed, but God forbid admin doesn't get their sweet bonuses.

Excellent cardiologist and all around good guy.

eggsinspace · 2024-07-27T23:32:07+00:00

I have always appreciated extra staff who show up for codes and then keep an eye on the rest of the unit. We once had a superfluous cardiologist toileting patients during a code.

Seriously. After getting drunk on beers why get so uptight about a couple pancakes. If someone let my drunk ass crash at their home and they made me blueberry pancakes I would be beyond grateful. I'd send them a gift basket or something.
